Tick Tock! It's Another Clock! My DT project for January for Discount Paper Crafts!

I had soooo much fun with this one!  I  had printed a photo of a clock that could be purchased online and used it for the inspiration for this months project for Discount Paper Crafts!  The lines and dimensions of this clock are what caught my eye.  Here's the pic:

So I started with a few pieces I had purchase at some sales...a decorative 2 sided frame (got it for $1.00!)--here's the pic:

I also purchased a wooden base for 25 cents!  Here's the pic:

And of course, I always purchase battery operated clocks (that work) to dismantle and re-use (working, of course) for my altered projects.  And here's what I ended up with (Love it!!):

This is the front.

This is the back.

This is behind the clock!  If you open the swivel hook on the left side where Tim Holtz cash key ensemble is hanging, and "open the door", you can access and change the battery to the clock and take a peek at the beauty inside!

This is a closer view of the base area on the front side and charms hanging from the hinge on the left.

This is a closer view of the base area on the back side. I Love the wings!

See--the lines of generally the same as the picture of the 1st clock from above! I used great products from Cathie's store from top well-known brands!  I used tons of flowers!  I used several other paper lines such as Prima "Romance Novel"  Graphic 45 "Communique" and Pink Paislee "City Sidewalks". I used Gesso to paint and texture both wood pieces.  I used Rub N Buff paint (black and white) for the texture on the flowers and lots of other surrounding areas to add the grunge type feel! I even added a cabinet handle for the top to get the same feel as the original picture with a stopwatch type handle--also at the top! I was really wanting a project that had a romantic flair to it, adding in a little vintage-ness, tossing in a bit of grunge and topping it all of with some shabby chic-ness!  It's my favorite project I've done so far!! This particular piece is going to a friend--hope she loves it as much as I do!!
